Went for help? And Cps is now on me.

Hello I'm suffering with ppd ocd. My son is 11 mths old. Well long story short. I went and volunteer myself to a mental hospital cause I was depressed and felt like I was losing it. My meds didn't seem like there were working. Call my dr and old her I wasn't feeling good. She didn't have any open appointments. So I decided to go to the hospital. Spent two days in there. Got out yesterday as soon as I got home Cps was at my house trying to take my kids away. I try to get help and know they wanna take my kids away for know reason at all. They think my kids are in harm which they aren't. They told me that someone had to stay with me and my husband for 24 hrs every day. Until 30. Is this possible should I get a lawyer and find out what my rights are. As anyone gone thru this before. This is making me more stressed out. Ugh

I would have your doctor talk to them. I am sure they are just following protocol to make sure everyone is safe. Weren't you also diagnosed with post partum psychosis? Just be honest with them and have them work with your doctor and the hospital you were discharged from. Who alerted them to your case?

Wow, this is why so many women go untreated. I'm not sure if a lawyer will be able to help, but it'd be worth finding out. They can't take your kids unless they can prove they are in danger, and that takes a lot. Try to work with them the best you can, otherwise it'll make the situation harder. Keep up what you're doing for yourself, meds, theropy, whatever you need to do. I suffer from ppd and ocd too, had DCFS in my life last year after a incident involving my DH and my then 5wk old DD. They never took my kids, but my DH was out of the home for 8mos.

How long was Cps on u? They told me at least thirty days but it could be longer. They wanted to take me kids right way. My kids are not in any danger. So I don't understand why they wanted to take them. Thank god my family came over and stopped them from taking them. Going to see what a lawyer can do. Cause I know I should have some rights.

Contact a lawyer. If finances are an issue see if you have a local legal aid society. CPS will try to strong arm you and tell you they are going to do things that they are not legally entitled to do. Stand up for yourself, and it sounds like your family is helping too. I have seen them try to destroy families because they think that they know better how to care for somebody's children. My friend's husband was told he could not live with her and their 5 children because they got into a fight. CPS told her she had to file a restraining order (even though she didn't want or need one) or they would take her kids. She got lawyer who told her CPS was trying to force her to get the order when they had no standing to take the kids. Do not trust them or what they tell you. Get a lawyer and let them take this stress off your plate for you. You did the right thing for yourself and your children. It's too bad the social services system over reacts in cases like yours and does nothing to protect so many other babies in drug houses and abuse situations. Do not give up mommy. Use the anger you have at this system to help pull you through the ppd. You will come out better off in the long run.

I never had CPS but shortly after having my daughter I had to have a nurse stop over because she had lost weight. The stress of it all caused me to cry in front of this nurse and for a good week or so I had to be "watched."

This is exactly why woman don't go and get help. This is why I want to be involved with post Partum woman dealing withOCD. It is not talked about often and woman need a support group. Yes a chat room works but woman need to actually go and meet others suffering. CPS is redicilous. They keep kids with drug addict parents but steal babies from mothers trying to help themselves. This is what is wrong with the world today. Always here to chat if you need to. Please keep us posted .

Call another law office for a second opinion. They are invading your home and privacy. You have the right to keep them out of your home. Do they have a legal court order? If so, you can fight it. If not I do not believe they are legally entitled to trespass in your home. Do not go by what CPS is telling you. They will downright lie in order to force you to act/do what they want. I would consider this a civil rights violation. Not that I am an advocate of these sorts of groups, but I think this would actually be a legitimate use for an ACLU group (American Civil Liberties Union). I know the last thing a mommy dealing with ppd/ocd wants to deal with is being in the center of a cause or movement, but they are stepping all over your rights as an American. There has to be somebody out there willing to help you stand up for yourself against this nonsense. You looked for help to do the right thing by your children and they turned it into a witch hunt. I'm sorry for going on and on, but it really makes me angry that this happens in our country (which used to be the land of the free-not the land of the supposedly free as long as such freedom fits within the new societal standards for how the aforementioned supposedly free populace should behave). GRRRRRRRRR. If only it were the good old days when you wouldn't be arrested for answering your door holding a shot gun to warn off trespassers and to remind folks to mind their own business.

I called two lawyers and they told me that they couldn't really do anything until the kids were taking away. Cps came to my house again. Helling at my husband cause they said he lied about something which he didn't do. It was a more he said she said kind of thing. I'm going to a support group for ppd on January 4. I'm going to explain to tell what I'm going thru. Cause I needed help and got the wrong thing got turn in. They told me that I was having homicidal thoughts about my son which I wasn't. Ocd can be so scary.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like the hospital misconstrued things and now you are dealing with the fallout. I wish there was more we could do to help you. Just be strong mama. You will make it through this. Hugs from upstate New York.
